Hi there,

Long time, no see - I've finally managed to dig out my Lego
once again...

First of all; I'm very pleased to see the outcome of LejOS
2.x - with Proximity, LLC, integration of rcxcomm, etc.

Now, I was wondering if it would be possible somehow to
communicate between two RCX'es by cable - one end attached
to, say, A on the first RCX and the other end attached to,
say, 1 on the other RCX.
What do you say?

This way, one can read from 5 independent sensors at a time,
or may control 5 motors...

Why do you want to communicate with a cable when you can use IR transmission ?
I think this IR transmission very easy to use and in this case you could use 6
sensors and 6 motors together.
May be the use of LejOS is the reason....(I don' t know this soft)

I think a simple electronic circuit between one output and one input should be
the answer to your question.It would contains two resistances and one
opto-electronic but it needs soldering.
The opto-electronic act as a electric relay but is faster.
If you are really interested I can mail you the circuit schematic.

Hi, (...) Because I want the IR ports free to use along with proximity sensors. (...) Well, if it is not too much to ask... :-) But nevertheless, LejOS should support some low level output handling on A-C before I could use it...
